What about Franz Müntefering's polemic claim that financial investors
are a swarm of lucusts?  FM is head of the SPD party in Germany, the
major party of the present coalition with the Greens.

"SPD-Chef Franz Müntefering, der Finanzinvestoren als
"Heuschreckenschwärme" bezeichnet hatte, war in einem internen SPD-
Papier insbesondere auf KKR als Beispiel für einen nach seiner
Auffassung räuberischen Kapitalismus eingegangen."

http://www.spiegel.de/wirtschaft/0,1518,354908,00.html

He wants to imply that investors who buy companies in Germany and then
shift production and employment to countries with cheaper labor costs
are a plague of locusts.
